New Backyard Bird - Evening Grosbeak in Queens...

This afternoon, I heard the call of an Evening Grosbeak and looked out the window to see a nice looking male perched in one of the trees in the backyard. Blue Jays were unfortunately aggressive towards him, but he made it to the feeders and I was in place and ready for my documentation photo. Sadly, the Blue Jays chased him off, but now that he knows where the feeders are, I am betting not only him, but others will show up. What will be next for the yard? Will it be Red Crossbill, Pine Grosbeak or that Green-tailed Towhee, I have been thinking will show up at my feeders.
